I'm down with OBC . . .,

[John Reid]

No, this isn't going there.

I have an upcoming solo cruise on Anthem and have $375 in on board credit (ah, the old days of booking). Other than my $174 for gratuities, I might spend another $20 in ship stores. I'm Diamond Plus and don't need a drink package. I arrange my own transportation to beaches in port. 

Won't need recommendations on how to spend it onboard; my wife will provide those before I leave!

 

I seem to remember reading of a method to turn OBC into casino credit and then cashing it out for real dollars. Experts, is that the case? 

 

Thanks in advance.

Go to the casino cashier and ask for an advance against your onboard account.  They will chagre 5% for this.

I wonder if this will eventually change now that they have promotional chips in use at the casinos and the ability to give promotional slot vouchers.

Sure, and then they will remove the 5% fee.

We had a $300 OBC and had a real  hard time spending it.

 

There is nothing I want to buy.

 

Never thought about cashing out in the casino..
